Extreme Anti-Vaxxer Vibes: NHL Player Evander Kane Suspended Without Pay For Submitting Fake Vaccination Card
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty Say what you will about NBA superstar Kyrie Irving, but at least he’s willing to die on the hill of loudness and wrongness as an honest anti-vaxxer who will proudly put his convictions, misguided as they may be, before his career. Hell, say what you will about ESPN commentator and sunken place-squatting anti-vaxxer Sage Steele, but at least she went ahead got the shot before getting all whiny about having to get the shot in order to remain at her job.

Judas Priest’s Rob Halford on 50 Years of Metal, Handcuffing Andy Warhol, and Touring with Ozzy Osbourne
Fifty years of doing anything in the arts is impressive — even more so in popular music, and especially in heavy metal. It’s a rigorous and demanding genre, and certainly of a niche for faithful. But it’s proved resilient, welcoming to new directions and trends while continuing to revere its traditions and its long-haulers. Judas Priest have become the latest to join the golden anniversary club, and in its case a band that’s spent the past half-century rocking uninterrupted, weathering lineup changes and changing audience tastes. But anyone who’s seen the quintet as recently as this year’s “50 Heavy Metal Years Tour” — which came to an abrupt and unexpected stop on September 26th after guitarist Richie Faulkner suffered a ruptured aorta onstage and more than 10 hours of open heart surgery ...
10 Artists Who Changed Their Names Mid-Career
“What’s in a name?” Shakespeare wrote. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Juliet was imagining a simpler life after rechristening her Romeo, but the principle would also apply if that rose were already trademarked, or the flower had a racist past, or that particular perfume reminded you of a life you’re ready to leave behind. Artists change their names for lots of reasons, but it is almost always a result of pressure — whether that be internal or external. If there’s one thing these moments of transformation have in common, it’s that they represent a pivot point for the musician — a dividing line, after which they will never be exactly the same. In that spirit of renewal, we’ve assembled a list of 10 artists who decided that another name would smell much sw...

John Cho Issues a Beatdown in Stylish Cowboy Bebop Trailer: Watch
After much anticipation, the live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop comes to Netflix next month and today, the streamer shared the stylish teaser trailer. In the clip, fans get a closer look at André Neme’s interpretation of the space Western anime.

In spite of their bickering, the team still manages to get out of some sticky situations with slick fighting moves and sometimes ill-advised shooting. Spike’s archnemesis Vicious (Alex Hassell) also makes a brief appearance. Watch the trailer below. Advertis...

Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing? How Spotify’s Discovery Mode May Harm Artists and Listeners
This is an opinion column. The thoughts and viewpoints expressed are those of the author, Richard James Burgess. Burgess, who is credited for coining the music genre terms “EDM” and “New Romantic,” is the CEO of the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM). On its face, Spotify’s Discovery Mode might seem like a boon for some artists. Agree to accept a reduced royalty rate and the platform’s algorithms will suggest that artist’s music to more users—in hopes of expanding their base of listeners. But the scheme will most likely generate more profit for Spotify while hurting the very people Discovery Mode is alleged to benefit: artists and listeners. Spotify’s Broken Promise to Listeners When Spotify launched, its premise was an exci...
